Released in 1991, TRIBULATION 99 became an instant counter-culture classic. Craig Baldwin’s pseudo-experimental documentary presents a factual chronicle of US intervention in Latin America in the form of the ultimate far-right conspiracy theory, combining covert action, environmental catastrophe, space aliens, cattle mutilations, killer bees, religious prophecy, doomsday diatribes, and just about every other crackpot theory broadcast through the dentures of the modern paranoiac. Then he splices it all together with many levels of complex layered found footage and archival film. Like a Lifter Puller lyric, these videos require hundreds of viewings to truly peel away all of the layers and understand all levels of information, satire, and commentary that are present.

A delirious vortex of hard truths, deadpan irony, and archival mash-ups – industrials, graphs, cartoons, movies from Hollywood B to Mexican Z – TRIBULATION 99 constructs a truly perverse vision of American imperialism.

Also contains the hyper-political short "ROCKETKITKONGOKIT" - a kaleidoscopic collage-essay trace into an alternative history of post-colonial Congo, the CIA, space exploration, and military adventurism.

This DVD is truly a treat for those who really need something more than a starter theory and political dialogue. High film art for the smart.
